Articial Prosthetics<br />

Over the years, the traditional prosthetics have been extensively<br />

used in most of the cases. But not many people can afford<br />

them. People from rural areas as well as those that are living in<br />

a warzone have limited access to healthcare, and available<br />

prosthetics can be pretty expensive for them. In such cases, 3D<br />

printed prosthetics pose as a better alternative- it can be made in a<br />

shorter time as well as less cost as opposed to traditional ones. Pieces<br />

can be forged and created according to the needs such as household<br />

use, physical activities, driving, etc. Since no two human bodies are<br />

identical, these new-age prosthetics can be customized differently, from<br />

the point of their aesthetics, tting, size as per the convenience of the<br />

patient, and efciency. Its extreme exibility and ability to adapt to<br />

numerous materials makes it perfect for everything, including, prosthetic<br />

skin, hearing aid molds, dental, and orthopedic implants.<br />

Shaping the Learning Environment in Surgery<br />

Human bodies are unique, our anatomy is the same but still, there<br />

are many differences we have in severalorgans, say liver. Liver has a<br />

complex structure of arteries, veins, bile ducts. Any misplaced cut<br />

while operating on it can lead to drastic results, and sometimes even<br />

death. To deal with such scenarios, a very prestigious doctor from<br />

Cleveland Clinic has along with his team put forth the concept of the<br />

organ models. These dummy models are made with materials that<br />

would not only resemble the organs but behave in a way that the<br />

organs do during the surgery. It will help the doctors to devise better<br />

surgery plans. Also, such 3D printed organ models can help the students<br />

understand its complexity, practically. As these organs function as if they<br />

are real, allowing students to perform operations, repeatedly. This<br />

printing organ model if integrated into hospitals can provide a pragmatic<br />

experience for students.<br />
